Siegwerk is sponsoring TuWaS! classes at Hans Alfred Keller school in Siegburg
Germany
Siegwerk is sponsoring Technology and Natural Sciences in Schools (TuWaS! in German) at Hans Alfred Keller school in Siegburg. The practical natural science lessons were available to children in the third grade, giving them the opportunity to work with “movement and engineering” as subjects.
Information on the “movement and engineering” experimental unit
The “movement and engineering” experimental unit enables children to study the physics of movement. In teams of three the children built vehicles out of design components. The vehicles were driven with weights, elastic bands and propellers. With a variety of experiments, the children explored the influence of force, friction and air resistance on the driving characteristics of their vehicles. Like engineers, they make technical drawings, they have to consider the required driving characteristics of the vehicles and calculate the costs.
Nikole Peters, Manager Corporate Communications and CSR, Siegwerk, looked visibly impressed by the work during the lesson: “With TuWaS! we are sponsoring a project which succeeds in promoting fun with natural sciences and technology among children at an early stage. This is one of many important steps to secure a professional workforce for the future. In Siegburg we support Hans Alfred Keller school and the GGS Wolsdorf,” she added.
About TuWaS!
TuWaS! was established in the Rhineland by the Bonn/Rhein-Sieg and Cologne chambers of industry and commerce. Together with committed companies and sponsors from the region they support the project which currently include more than 142 schools. During the last school year, more than 24,000 local school children worked with TuWaS! and experienced lively lessons in natural sciences and technology. TuWaS! is an initiative of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Free University of Berlin, which is responsible for the content-related and pedagogical concepts of TuWaS! and scientifically monitors the project in Cologne/Bonn.
